Sciogliete

Sciogliete is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb sciogliere. The basic meaning of sciogliere is to melt, dissolve, or loosen something, and it can also be used in a figurative sense to mean resolving or dispelling something, such as doubts or tensions.

In everyday usage, sciogliere is transitive and takes a direct object. Literal uses include melting fat or chocolate, dissolving solids in a liquid, or loosening knots and cords. For example, sciogliete il burro in una padella or sciogliete la gelatina in acqua calda. Figuratively, it can mean to dispel doubts, fears, or resistance, as in sciogliere i dubbi or sciogliere una resistenza.

Conjugation and forms: the present indicative forms are io sciolgo, tu sciogli, lui/lei scioglie, noi sciogliamo, voi sciogliete, loro sciolgono. The past participle is sciolto, used with auxiliary avere to form compound tenses (ho sciolto, hai sciolto, ha sciolto, abbiamo sciolto, avete sciolto, hanno sciolto). The imperfect is scioglievo, scioglievi, scioglieva, scioglievamo, scioglievate, scioglievano. The gerund is sciogliendo. The imperative forms include sciogli, sciogliete, sciogliamo. The present subjunctive for voi is sciogliate (che voi sciogliate).

Etymology links sciogliere to the Latin solvere, through phonetic evolution in Italian, with the prefix and stem evolving to produce the modern form. The term is commonly used across domains such as cooking, chemistry, and idiomatic expressions, and it is also used reflexively in the related verb sciogliersi to indicate melting or loosening of oneself.
